I feel that there is a similarity between my work and the work of Michael Porter - mainly because of the organic themes but also the colours and illustrative quality of my pieces.
However, I do not wish to recreate work in the style of Porter but I do want to take inspiration from the delicate organic forms that he paints amongst the semi-abstract background of his pieces. I want to use the method of collage combined with mix media - glass paint, ink, acrylic and possibly oil although that can overpower the rest of the work due to the thickness of consistency and the vibrancy of colours.
The question is - will I do this on a canvas? It might be an idea to experiement with a canvas or even perhaps on acetate. Acetate would present a problem because by applying more mediums the transparency would decrease. Perhaps experimenting with lumnious colours would create a sense of transparency and layers - also the tracing paper images I have been working on would serve well to preserve some of the transparency by only using other mediums on certain sections of the image. Experimentation is needed as always!
